Squeaky pedal- major problem?

[kelly_kelly]

My piano has developed a tendency to squeak when I push down the pedal. Is this a major issue or is it relatively easy to correct? The piano DESPERATELY needs to be tuned. Could that be part of the issue? Thanks!

It woudn't be part of a tuning issue, but if you are having your tech over soon he/she will be able to remedy it soon. 

You could try to find exactly where under there the squeak is coming from.  Tell us what two types of surfaces are rubbing against each other.

MD40 is panadol to all headaches although too much can cause internal bleeding

I dont think this is a major problem, get a piano tuner to come out and tune it, and mention the pedals, they can adjust/fix the pedals! my digital piano is about 7 years old, the pedals make alot of noise, bump bump, squuuuuuueak squeeeeeeek bang, its annoying..

good luck
